well, this trailer stays wet
and we're swimming in debt
and you want me to go back to school

I bought these new heel, did my nails
had my hair done just right
I thought this new dress was a sure bet
for romance tonight
well, it's perfectly clear
between the TV and beer
I won't get so much as a kiss
And as I head out the door, I turn around to be sure
Did I shave my legs for this?

I have. For I am a poet. And it is my job, my duty
